Skyrim's Creation Kit grants players access to the same tools Bethesda used to develop the game, allowing modders to create unique, user-generated content. The Workshop is simply a hub for the latest mods complete with ratings and automatic downloads.

The amount of mods downloaded is just a testament to the popularity of Skyrim on PC. Skyrim became the fastest-selling game in Steam history and, in January, helped the digital platform surpass the five million concurrent user mark.
